MI5 specifications

The Turbosound MI5 is a compact and highly versatile loudspeaker designed for a variety of audio applications, including live sound reinforcement, portable PA setups, and installations in venues that require high-quality audio reproduction. Known for its exceptional sound clarity, the MI5 is favored by audio professionals around the world for both its performance and reliability.

One of the standout features of the MI5 is its proprietary driver technology. It houses a custom-designed 15-inch low-frequency driver, which provides deep, powerful bass response while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum. This is complemented by a 1-inch high-frequency compression driver that delivers crisp, detailed high frequencies. Together, these drivers ensure a well-balanced sound that can handle a wide range of musical genres and vocal styles.

The MI5 employs a unique waveguide design, allowing for optimal dispersion of sound across a wide area. This technology ensures that the audience, regardless of where they are seated, receives a consistent audio experience. The controlled dispersion minimizes sound reflection and feedback issues, providing clear audio in challenging acoustic environments.

Durability is another key characteristic of the MI5. Constructed from robust materials, the cabinet is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and installation use. The speaker features a rugged exterior with a weather-resistant coating, making it suitable for outdoor use and variable weather conditions. Additionally, it includes integrated rigging points for ease of mounting and installation, enhancing its versatility for different setups.

The MI5 also boasts a high power handling capability, allowing it to operate effectively in high-demand environments without distortion. This makes it suitable for various applications, from small venues to larger events. Furthermore, the speaker operates efficiently with a wide range of amplifiers, making it a flexible choice for sound engineers.

In summary, the Turbosound MI5 offers a compelling combination of powerful bass, clear highs, and robust construction, making it an ideal solution for both live sound applications and fixed installations. Its advanced technologies and thoughtful design make it a trusted choice among audio professionals looking for performance and reliability in a compact package.
